For example, it recommended that developing countries should not be required to implement trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights until their state of development is such that the stimulation effect on innovation will be worth the costs and restraints inherent in IP systems. It further recommended that the World Intellectual Property Organization should continue to work with governments to provide guidelines for informed consent and profit sharing that can be translated into practical situations involving the exploitation of traditional knowledge for the benefits of the holders of such knowledge and humankind in general.

In the spirit of this paper, the rich countries of the West have a duty to ensure that scientists from developing countries are not disadvantaged, either by design or by accident, from actions such as unnecessary restrictions on • travel, • the free and full access to validated knowledge, and • the ability to set up appropriate collaborations.
